- 2 TBSP red wine vinegar
- 2 TBSP Dijon mustard
- 1 TBSP honey
- 1 tsp salt I use sea salt
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup avocado oil olive oil works too
Instructions
- First make your dressing: In a food processor or blender, combine all dressing ingredients except for the avocado oil. Blend until blueberries are completely pureed, then use the little top cut-out to drizzle in the avocado oil at the end. Once dressing is emulsified you're good to go!
- Wash + dry your greens.
- Combine with cucumber and blueberries, then toss with a drizzle or two of dressing. Add extra as desired.
- Top with mandarin orange segments, dried cranberries, and sunflower seeds and serve!
